The scale of the sculpture to the original village is 1.5 : 8
We can calculate 8 / 1.5 which equals 5.333
The original structures in the village are 5.333 times the size of the items in the sculpture.
If the hut in the sculpture has a height of 5 feet, then we need to multiply this by 5.333.
original hut height = (5 feet) (5.333)
original hut height = 27 feet
The original hut has a height of 27 feet.
